Enhancement of Output Power in Spin Torque Nano-Oscillator using Heterogeneous layer

The article mainly focuses on the enrichment of the output power obtained from Spin torque nano-oscillator by introducing the heterogeneous structure in multilayer nanopillar device. Here we devised two homogeneous and two heterogeneous devices having NiFe and Co materials. The dynamics of the devices are governed by a famous Landu-Lifshitz -Gilbert-Slonczewski (LLGS) equation which can be solved numerically using embedded RK-4 procedure. The current density and the external magnetic field for four devices are taken as 5x10(11) A/m(2) and 6x10(-3) A/m respectively. The applied dc current is converted into spin polarized dc current while it passes through pinned layer. The generated spin polarized dc currents produces spin transfer torque with the free layer magnetization via spacer. Thus the magnetization of the free layer gets a sustained oscillation. The results obtained from the heterogeneous STNOs are really fascinating. The frequency of the NiFe/Cu/NiFe and Co/Cu/NiFe devices have the same frequency but there is a tremendous change in the output power which is exactly twice that the NiFe/Cu/NiFe device. The similar behaviour is also obtained from Co/Cu/Co and NiFe/Cu/Co devices. The line width and the Q-factor of the output microwave signal are also computed. Among the four devices, the NiFe/Cu/Co heterogeneous device has low line width (408 MHz) and high Q-factor (4.77).
